VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 87

Which type of storage entity is used as the backing disks for persistent volumes in vSphere with Tanzu?

Answer options

• A. Thick provisioned VMDK
• B. Raw Device Mapping (RDM)
• C. First Class Disk (FCD)
• D. Virtual Volumes (vVOLs)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, First Class Disk (FCD), as it is designed for use with Tanzu and provides persistent storage for workloads. Options A and B refer to other storage types that do not align with Tanzu’s persistent volume requirements, while D, Virtual Volumes (vVOLs), is a storage framework but not specifically the entity that serves as backing disks for persistent volumes in this context.
